If your cartridges do not print after an extended period of non-use, yet the ink is still liquid inside the cartridge, the ink has dried out and clogged where the ink exits the cartridge. This can be easily fixed! Use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol and gently stroke the surface of the cartridge where the ink is clogged. Press gently as well. After a few minutes, the dried ink will be removed, and new ink will begin to flow through the thin lines where the ink exits.
